Collide

I was so close to hitting it off with you
Don’t know where my mind has been for the last few weeks or two
When I’m here all alone I’m trying to figure it all out
When I’m at the football field I think I know what life’s about
You should love me enough to see my flaws
You should love me enough to make sure I get my fair share
These lies ain’t about what I do
With you the demons are just all passed through
My world
And your world
They will collide
I just need someone to wrap my head around
She puts on her makeup so she’s always on the go
Maybe if you could see what I see
You’d know
I want to make a copy of your memory and hang it on the wall
So I never forget
Never forget
At all
You should love me enough to see my flaws
You should love me again to make sure I get my fair share
These lies ain’t about what I do
With you the demons are just all passed through
My world
And your world
They will collide
I just need someone to wrap my head around

Can't Play This By Ear

There it is our final chord
Been playing this tune
So you don't get to walk out the door
Been hearing it loud and clearly
Just been ignoring the sound of it
Don't know what's been up with me lately
I'm only a fool when I want to be
Take me back to when the night was the beginning
and my melodies were clear
Sick of all the inconvenience inside me
I just can't play this by ear
So I said
I had to go
Not what I meant
But weakness is a long way to go
Been seeing it all over TV lately
Don't want to be part of the show
If I'd been a participant somehow
You wouldn't be the first one to know
Take me back to when the night was the beginning
and my melodies were clear
Sick of all the inconvenience inside me
I just can't play this by ear
So you said you wanted this
Like I know you would
He gets dressed up as the devil so I'm always in hell
Thought you understood
Maybe a child
Is the only purpose in life
But what if I'm immature
I just want someone to
Hold me tight
Take me back to when the night was the beginning
and my melodies were clear
Sick of all the inconvenience inside me
I just can't play this by ear

Explaining

Want to make you love me and see what I look like
I’m a monster I’ll do the same to you
This darkness is trying to push through
Let it come out
Let it come out
Where did you go
Why did you ever leave me all alone
You said
Unleash me
Try to forgive me
I know you don’t need explaining
Don’t stare at your phone
You’re so miserable
Well maybe I’m the hypocrite
So sing me a lullaby
The moon has its halftime show
I’m trying to hold on
Didn’t mean it for it to end this way
But you left me all grey
Where did you go
Why did you ever leave me all alone
You said
Unleash me
Try to forgive me
I know you don’t need explaining
In case the two of us
Will make it on our own
I’m sorry for skipping this part
I think I need to be alone
Where did you go
Why did you ever leave me all alone
You said
Unleash me
Try to forgive me
I know you don’t need explaining

Everything disappears
Just like the text in the ground
Like a guy who got fired
Everything disappears
Just like the songs we write
Like you and me
Why won’t you hurry up and stay
Cause I can't go on this way
If you already know my mind
It’s hard to leave you behind
Tell me about your fears
Are they the snakes that lie
Or the way your body feels next to mine
Tell me about your fears
Will I like them somehow
Or are they like you and me
Why won’t you hurry up and stay
Cause I can't go on this way
If you already know my mind
It’s hard to leave you behind
It’s sad to leave you behind
I’m sad to leave you behind
It’s sad to leave you behind
I’m sad to leave you behind
Everything disappears
Just like the text in the ground
Like a guy who got fired
Everything disappears
Just like the songs we write
Like you and me
